PRESIDENTS As FINANCIERS.
In What Shape They Have Usually
Retired From ONCE.

President Cleveland Is undoubtedly
able to live within his income, says the
Jacksonville Fla.) Ntrs, and with
what money he had when he came
her. and the growth In value of what
he has purchased, 1t Is not improbable
that he may go out of the White House
with about 100000. If he does, 1t
will put him just about on par In the
matter of wealth with the average re.
firing President. Some of them had
more than that. but a good many had
less. AS a rule the average President
is not much of financier, and If he
accumulates wealth it is because 1t
gravita'es towards him by the attrac.
tion Of high position.
President Arthur was a very high
feeder and spent great deal Of money
on his table, but he managed to save
about 100000. Garfield was not In
Office long enough TO save much money.
He left about $4,000, and the gifts
Mrs. Garfield has received have made
her wealthy woman.
Mrs. Hayes ran the financial end of
the house during Hayes Administra.
tion, and that she Is financier Is
proved by the amount saved out of his
salary.
Grant never saved much of his
salary, but the generous gifts of his
friends made him independent. He
lost his all In the Grant.Ward failure.
The sale of his book has placed his
wife in an ailluent position again.
When Andrew johnson left the
White House he had about $3.50, 900, a
good deal of which was lost by the
failure of the Freedmen's Bank.
Buchanan left over S250,0OO to his
nephews and nieces.
Pierce did not do as well. Fifty
thousand dollars was his limit and no
one to inherit 1t.
Fillmore left the White House poor
man, but by second marriage he be-
came wealthy.
John Tyler went TO the White House
poor man, but he managed to save
enough out Of his salary to live In com

FAST RAILWAY TRAINS.
The Fallacy of Some Currett Ideas on
the subject.

Said q railway director the other
day to reporter of the New York
Mail and Express: "Spe,i is hard to
average. The 60 and 70 miles an hour
train is generally a myth. An average
OF As 10 miles per hour Is the fastest
time in the United States. Tiis is
made on the Pennsylvania limited in
lis run from Jersey City 10 Philadel-
phia-G0 miles-in less than two hours.
The Flying Dutchman' train Is sup.
posed TO make the fastest time In the
world, between London aud Bristol
11S4 milts--in less than two hours. The
average, though, of even this fast train
is only J9l miles per hour. There are
several other trains noted for re.
markably fast time on short dis
ianoes. Sometimes straight
and even grade for distance of 20
miles will permit train TO run at the
rate of more than mile n minute.
One train on the Canadian Pacific
Road, from Cotaneau TO Ottawa, aver.
ages 80 miles an hour for distance OF
IS miles. On the Central Road the
late Mr.. Vanderbilt Travelled at the rate
of 90 miles an hour. An average of
3Gi miles an hour is considered fast
travelling. Many Of the limited, light.
ming expresses do not go at faster
rate. The value of railroads In the
United States exceeds eight billions of
dollars"

until he could remove II to another
place of storage.
1t was the first time the two had
spoken to each other In twenty years.
Rhoda was pale, but she gave quiet,
ready consent. Lot and his men
brought the things in and went for the
night.
II was June weather In the morning
Rhoda went into the south rooms and
opened the windows and blinds. The
sunlight fell upon the household goods
of Lot Lambert, every article of which
she remembered.
The drawer of bureau had been
broken open In the removal, and
Rhoda glanced In this. She saw a
silk dress, ashes of. roses in color, lying
still unmadc in its wrapper.
The color had crept out of her lips.
She stood with her hand to her brow,
in bcwilderment and pain, when a
step came. Lot Lambert stood beside
her. and his eyes, too, sought the silk
dress In the bureau drawer.
A tight feeling came about Rhoda's
heart. She looked up into Lots face
and he was looking at her.
81 am sorry" she faltered, scarcely
knowing what she was going to say.
"And have been sorry every day
for twenty years." said Lot. "Rhoda,
is 1t too late to forgive each other
now?"
In moment her arms were round
his neck, and he was kissing her as he
had never kissed Mercy Ray.
Soon they were married. And
Rhoda would be married In no other
but the ashes. .Of.roses silk, which she
had once sent back to him; and this strip

UNITED AT LAST.
A Pretty Little Love Story Told by
Aunt Sophia.

Rhoda Dauiels had been brought up
with Lot Lambert and 1t was the most
natural thing in the world that they
should fall in love with each other.
Everybody in town thought 1t would
be an excellent match, and Lots father
ordered an ashes of-roses silk from New

the town as useless piece of extrava.
